Fri 4th
to Monday 7th June - Spider Trip to Holland
Following the success of last year's long weekend trip to Holland,
we're going again! This year, the German Spider Register have been
invited along too and part of the trip on Sunday will cross over
the border into Germany. We'll be travelling on an early ferry on
the Friday from Dover-Calais, driving through France and Belgium
and on into Holland and we're hoping to pick up some members from
the French and Belgian Clubs too along the way.
We'll be based for the 3 nights at the Hotel
Mitland in Utrecht. The meet/drive on the Sunday will start
from Hotel 't Losse Hoes in Holten, East Holland. Time of arrival
between 11.00 and 12.00 in the morning. Participation charge for
the Sunday is Euros 17,00 per person which includes coffee and pastry
on arrival and - at the end of the tour - a collective dinner at
the Hotel 't Losse Hoes.Tony from spidersweb.nl
has kindly put a series of maps on his site here.
We'll be returning on Monday and catching a late afternoon/early
evening ferry back from Calais to Dover. The ferry times will be
confirmed shortly when we have final numbers. For the finer details
as they unfold, keep an eye on the forum thread here.
To register for the Sunday event, please email your name, address
and number of people in your car. The price per person is 17 euros
and you can either pay by cheque (please phone or email me for the
address) or pay securely online using PayPal below...
Have a look at the photo gallery for some pics of the 2003 trip
or search the forum for what we got up to. Photos of last year's
"challenge" here
and here. |
Sunday
6th June - AutoItalia Italian Car Day, Stanford Hall, Leics
The premier annual Italian car concours event held at Stanford Hall,
Lutterworth, Leicestershire organised by AutoItalia magazine. There's
always a good turnout of Fiats, Alfas, Lancias, Mazzas, Fezzas and
other Italian exotica, with a wide range of models. There's usually
a decent autojumble too. Unfortunately, the Holland trip clashes again
this year, so some of us won't be able to make it. However, I think
Francesco (aka "fepifano" on the forum) is going along and
is hoping some others will join him. Further info on the event can
be found at the AutoItalia
site. |
20th June
- Fiat Motor Club (GB) National Day, Hatton Farm, Warwick
This year, the main Fiat
Motor Club (GB) National event will be held at the Hatton
Farm Park, Hatton, Warwick. We've reserved a dedicated 124 Spider
stand/area. For further details, have a look at the
Fiat Motor Club (GB) events section. If you want to display your
car on the Spider stand (any condition) or want any more info, please
let me know. |
Sat 3
- Sun 4th July - The Main UK 124 Spider Event 2004 - Closing date
for entries 14th June
Organised by Fiat Motor
Club (GB) this has become the main UK Spider event of the year.
We're hoping to make this the biggest and best gathering of UK Spiders
to date and this year, the Dutch and German Clubs have been invited
as well.You don't have to be a Fiat Motor Club (GB) member to join
us on the 124 Spider stand although you are of course, more than
welcome to become a member. Held in the grounds of the Hop Farm
Country Park, Paddock Wood, Kent as part of a massive classic car
show, the Farm's website is down as I type but I think the link
is www.thehopfarm.co.uk.
There's also further info at www.transtarpromotions.co.uk
which is the organiser's website. If you want to stay overnight,
you can camp there free of charge and more importantly, there's
a bar. Alternatively, if camping's not your thing, I'm pretty sure
there are some B&Bs and hotels nearby. For the last couple of
years, a bunch of us have camped overnight with a few beers and
disposable barbies and I'm up for it again.
Please note that if you want to join the Spider display stand in
the main arena on Saturday and/or Sunday, an entry/registration
form must be received by transtarpromotions not less than 14 days
before the event. The price for display cars is £1.50 - if
you don't display, you'll pay considerably more and have to park
in the main public carpark outside the arena. To enter, you can
either do it yourself through transtarpromotions but it would be
helpful if you could let us know so we have an idea of numbers for
the stand. Alternatively, if you contact either branda or jason
through the forum, we can email registration forms and Jason has
kindly agreed to post everyone's entries off. |
Sunday
22nd August - MITCAR, Grimsthorpe Hall, Bourne, S.Lincs
The annual Midlands Italian Car Day has been running for a while
now and I've heard good things about it. I'll certainly be going
because it's just down the road at Bourne (just off the A1, near
Stamford, Lincs). I've found some links to past meetings and will
put them up here shortly. It seems to be a large gathering of all
Italian cars, old and new, with many classic and exotic motors on
display. If you're interested in coming, please email me or contact
me through the forum ("branda").

28th/29th August - Knebworth Classic Car Show
Big 2-day classic car show with camping available. Jason's trying to sort a Spider stand out. More details to follow shortly.
